Racial and Residential Differences in Preventive Medical Care for Infants in Low-income Populations.

Slesinger, Doris P.

Rural Sociology, v45 n1 p69-90 Spr 1980

Immunization records and frequency of checkups for urban and rural infants were investigated to determine differential patterns of preventive medical services use. Urban children scored highest in preventive care, rural children lowest. Conditions affecting scores included mother's educational level, type of medical service used, and child's place in family.
